Mario Clash is a 3D platformer in which the player takes on the character of Mario and must navigate stages while hurling shells at foes. Because of the Virtual Boy’s red-and-black stereoscopic display, the game has a distinctive 3D perspective, and it was one of the few titles for the platform that used the technology meaningfully.
Wario Land, on the other hand, is a 2D platformer in which the player controls Wario as he navigates stages loaded with opponents and obstacles while collecting wealth. The game uses grayscale visuals, but it nevertheless makes use of the Virtual Boy’s distinctive display by providing depth to the environments.
Collectors see Mario Clash and Wario Land as both uncommon and desirable. Mario Clash was one of the Virtual Boy’s debut titles, and it was exclusively available in North America, adding to its rarity. Wario Land, as previously mentioned, was one of the last games released for the platform and was only available in Japan and North America.
Collectors interested in obtaining a copy of either game may expect to pay a premium because they are in high demand. The condition of the game cartridge and packaging also plays a role in deciding its worth. Depending on condition and rarity, a complete and mint-in-box copy of either game could cost several hundred to thousands of dollars.
